Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s hateful rhetoric isn’t a joke. She wants to start a war, says podcaster Danielle Moodie on the latest episode of The New Abnormal podcast. Moodie, who joined as guest co-host of the show alongside host Andy Levy, tore into the Georgia Republican after listening to a recent clip of Greene making Democrats out to be child predators. According to Moodie, the left and the media have been grossly underestimating the congresswoman’s propensity for violence.



“Ever since Marjorie Taylor Greene entered into Congress, she’s been looked at primarily as a joke, right? We have said she’s the QAnon queen. She is the conspiracy theorist’s conspiracy theorist. Like she is absolutely crazy. She has said things about Jewish people operating lasers from outer space. But what I want folks to take away from that rant that she went on is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is not representative of the fringe of the Republican Party. She is the mainstream of the Republican Party,” Moodie says during the episode’s opening brief.



“And when she is referring to Democrats as predators,” continues Moodie, “when she is saying that we are going after children, talking about mutilation and all of these things, what she is signaling to the Republican Party, to her base, is that we are at war.” Andy agrees, saying that he’s been telling everyone for a while now that Greene isn’t a joke. “Now anyone that thinks Mitt Romney is a better representation of the Republican Party right now than Marjorie Taylor Greene is nuts. This is her party, the party that Trump made over, that she is part and parcel of. This stuff has to be taken seriously at the highest levels,” he adds.



Moodie then makes a pointed plea to Democrats to shut down these dangerous GOP talking points: “You need to direct the American people to exactly who is taking away your rights. Who is making your communities more dangerous. Who is putting your children under threat.”

1. What a horrible person.

2. MTG, tell us what you think of your fellow republican Boebert's husband.

MTG, tell us what you think of your fellow republican Boebert's husband.

3. I get a visceral response to her. I can't even express it.

If GA District 14 managed to defeat her, I surely have to come in person to thank each and every one...put a thank you ad in the paper--or something. One can wish...

[blm]

4. Marjorie would beat Mitt in a GOP presidential primary

if it was held today.

[Initech]

5. Marjorie Greene is extremely mentally disturbed.

She needs to be given the straight jacket and padded walls treatment. Of course that's what happens when you live in an echo chamber.

[bluestarone]

9. Agree, except for one thing.

Take away the padded walls. i want here to HURT herself!

[Initech]

10. I'm not gonna go that far...

[DFW]

6. Marge Greene heaven and Marge Greene hell

Her idea of heaven--someone takes a few pot shots at her (misses, of course).

Her idea of hell--she gets ignored by everybody, and forgotten.

Full disclosure--yes, we did a video on her, too:

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Thanks for the reminder, excellent as always!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. Does she think that makes her look tough?

It makes her look ridiculously stupid, no, wait, it makes her look ludicrous stupid.

I wonder how fast she would drop that weapon and run home if someone really got serious with her stupidity.

[Hekate]

11. That woman really is a thug. And that voice! Ye gods, what a specimen.

[Docreed2003]

12. MTG is most definitely a nutter...but

Dismissing her as some kind of one off is extremely dangerous and misses one very important point, which is this:

Today's right is all about dominance and power. They view any sort of compromise as failure. They refuse to view those of us on the left as anything other than wrongheaded at best and servants of Satan at worst. This ideology is being actively preached throughout the country and it is extraordinarily dangerous. This isn't mere politics to them. They will not rest until their views are the dominate views nationwide. That may seem like hyperbole, but I can assure you, living amongst these types of nutters, that this is the truth.

[Celerity]

14. +1

We think along the same lines on this.

It can get SO much worse.

[Docreed2003]

15. Agreed Celerity

It certainly can

[2naSalit]

13. Spinning out of control at this point.

She's dangerously full of herself.

[PortTack]

16. Giving her this much attention with color photos on a dem site is just wrong

Do we need to be aware of who she and what she says, yes. But giving her this much space is not helpful.

[Genki Hikari]

17. Was it necessary to use so many photos

Of that hideous hellbeast?

We already know about her fondness for hate, guns and violence.

It wasn't necessary to make people lose their dinner to belabor the point.

[drmeow]

18. I've never seen her as a joke

I've always seen her as a fundamentally evil Nazi cockroach - feeding on garbage and spreading disease. My deepest wish is that I will have a chance to dance on her grave.

[Patterson]

19. She could easily be elected president.

[Elessar Zappa]

20. I don't think so.

She’s a woman and she’s too extreme. Yes, Trump won in 2016 but he has a “charisma” (puke) that can’t be easily replicated.
